I feel like they leave performance on the table. If you press them into your head better they sound better, I say this because like most headsets they can depend on ear and head shape for a detailed sound quality comparison. Having said that, they both sound worse than my jbls both in ear and behind the ear. But I can wear them while chewing gum unlike my in ear JBL. My ears do not get fatigued by wearing them. And I like that both the bone conductive have physical buttons.
Is it 10x better, because it's 10 more expensive. There are fine, work as well as earlier gen "aftershockz".
Community Reviews
These open ear bone conduction headphones stand out for comfort and everyday listening, especially podcasts, YouTube, calls, and long meetings where keeping ears uncovered matters. The physical buttons, fast pairing, and all day wearability fit well for hands free use, and the low price makes them appealing as a backup or first try at bone conduction. Sound is the main tradeoff, with weak bass, muted volume, and some metallic distortion at higher levels. Fit and durability also matter, since performance depends on a snug temple contact and there are reports of random power issues and worn out cheek pads.

I am unimpressed. It's like if you took a pair of discount headphones, reversed the speakers so they fired away from you, and put them slightly in front of your ears. Everything is very muffled and muted, like you're listening to a tinny speaker from far away.
I've tried on "SHOCK Z" brand in stores, thinking maybe I'd get something better if I spent more....wrong. I had pretty much the same experience.
I suppose it's allright if you MUST have your ears unobstructed for situational awareness.... and you're listening to nothing important. But even the cheapest $2 headphones are going to give you better audio quality.

But also set your expectations. They're meant to let in other sound.

Also be aware they will email you quite a bit if you leave a bad review asking how to make it up, including gift cards....which I'm pretty sure is against the TOS for Amazon.
